German SummaryUm die Mitte des vorigen Jahrhunderts haben sich die Mimbreno-Indianer auf Ackerbau umgestellt und mit einer Bewässerungsanlage ihre Reservation fruchtbar gemacht. Mit den Überschüssen der Ernte treiben sie Handel. Die Geschäftsleute der Stadt Tucson bangen jedoch um ihre Profite, vor allem jene, die den Indianern die Regierungsspenden vorenthalten und ihnen dafür wertlose, verdorbene Lebensmittel liefern. Sie lassen die Bewässerunganlage sprengen. Es kommt zum Kampf zwischen den Mimbrenos und den Tucson-Leuten, bei dem Häuptling Ulzana schwer verwundet wird. Die Weißen halten ihn für tot. Captain Burton, der an ihren Machenschaften beteiligt ist, nutzt die Situation, um die Indianer in die nahezu vegetationslose Reservation von San Carlos abzuschrieben. Doch mit Hilfe eines mexikanischen Artzes konnte Ulzana gerettet werden und flieht nun mit seinem Stamm in die mexikanische Sierra Madre. Burtons Soldaten haben jedoch Ulzanas Frau Leona gefaßt und halten sie in Fort Craig fest. Als der Hauptling sie befreien will, tötet Burton seine Gefangene und flieht. Ulzana verfolgt ihn in die Berge und rächt Leona.

English SummaryAround the middle of the last century, the Mimbreno Indians switched to arable farming and made their reservations fruitful with an irrigation system. They trade with the surplus of the harvest. However, Tucson's businessmen fear for their profits, especially those who withhold government donations from the Indians and provide them with worthless, spoiled food. They're blowing up the irrigation system. There is a battle between the Mimbrenos and the Tucson people in which Chief Ulzana is severely wounded. White folks think he's dead. Captain Burton, who is involved in their machinations, uses the situation to copy the Indians into the almost vegetation-free reservation of San Carlos. But with the help of a Mexican doctor, Ulzana was rescued and now flees with his tribe to the Mexican Sierra Madre. Burton's soldiers, however, have captured Ulzana's wife Leona and are holding her at Fort Craig. When the main body tries to free them, Burton kills his prisoners and flees. Ulzana pursues him into the mountains and avenges Leona.

Original SummaryA metà del XIX secolo, gli indiani Mimbreno si convertono all’agricoltura, fertilizzando le proprie terre con un impianto di irrigazione. Sfamata la popolazione, ciò che avanza del raccolto viene messo in commercio. Per paura di veder diminuire i propri affari, i commercianti di Tucson fanno saltare in aria l'impianto idrico, suscitando l’ira dei Mimbreno. Negli scontri viene gravemente ferito il capo Ulzana. Credendolo morto, i bianchi e soprattutto il capitano Burton, relegano i sopravvissuti nell'arida riserva di San Carlos. Grazie all'intervento di un medico messicano, però, Ulzana riesce a salvarsi e fugge con la sua gente in Sierra Madre. I soldati di Burton sono riusciti a catturare Leona, moglie di Ulzana, che tengono prigioniera a Fort Craig. Quando Ulzana tenta di liberarla, Burton la uccide e fugge. Il capo indiano lo segue fin nelle montagne e vendica sua moglie. (Italienisch)
